I’m never really sure what to make of spoilers and interviews because they often conflict with each other.  I guess it’s a time will tell thing. 

I don’t really see the “triangle” thing as being “reset” so much as stopped before it ever actually started.  It’s a shame that a wedge will be placed between Damon and Stefan again because of the circumstances surrounding Elena’s death.  They were just getting back to being brothers.  They worked well when they focused on what needed to be done regardless of the fallout.  I guess the strife between them makes it more interesting.

I will enjoy watching Damon take his frustrations out on the Council and kick some ass.  Maybe we’ll see enemies (the Originals) become strange bed fellows because of the common enemy.     

It’ll be nice to see some of these characters who were killed off like Ric when they do the “look back” in the 2nd episode.  Definitely going to miss Ric’s character.  Maybe this season we’ll get a few new ones that stick.  Last season we didn’t really have any strong characters introduced.  They were all disposable.

Bonnie’s descent into darkness will give her character a storyline of her own instead of just being used to clean up when there is a problem.  We got to see a hint of her enjoyment of the dark power when she channeled it for the desiccation spell.  Reminds me of Willow’s dark phase on Buffy.

It’s kind of interesting that the actual blood from the bunny diet will disagree with Elena.  I know we’ve been told it doesn’t taste very good but I wonder why her system can’t handle it other than it tastes bad.  It’s for the best anyway because she’ll be stronger if she drinks from the HB.  If she doesn’t want to drink from people because she doesn’t want to hurt them I can’t see why drinking form animals would make her feel any better.

Ugh!!!! Hurry up already!!! We know this stuff, we just wanna see it!!…..IHATEPEOPLE, I MISS YOU!!!

Stefan and Elena have hot vampire sex…in the woods.., but  it doesn’t exactly end well.  So…Elena’s tummy cannot tolerate the animal blood.  Why not? 

Stefan and Elena reaffirm their love and Damon is just….pissed off…over the whole circumstances surrounding Elena’s death, but makes up his mind to continue to be her friend.  Sounds like his frustration will be taken out on other Mystic Falls residents (Council members? Vampire hunters?  Rebekah – she did have blood on her shirt so does Damon put a stake in her?  Little Matty Blue Eyes?  and anyone else that looks at him wrong???)…… Damon will be “bad ass” this season, but not “bad”.  Okay well Damon is going to be just fine…especially when his blood hits the spot for Elena…WAIT!   Why does Damon’s blood hit the spot for Elena and help her hunger?

Damon is taking Alaric’s death pretty hard and when he is drinking at the Mystic Grill he will not allow anyone to sit next to him on Alaric’s bar stool.  Everyone else has to sit on the other side including Elena.  That is just so sad…. he really misses his friend and there is just no replacement for Alaric.  :(
 (tears,tears)  

Bonnie is going to die in order to try and bring Elena back as a human.  The price she pays to save her friend and give in to Klaus’ demands are high. Hmmm! How does Klaus figure into all this and who does Bonnie allow to come into her house.  Sounds like Bonnie is going to have a good story arc this season.

Jeremy can still see dead people- but that’s not the only thing he can see that other people can’t.  Um…huh??? That is interesting…what is going on with young Master Gilbert?  

Klaus/Tyler and Caroline – Glad to know that Klaus will put a stop to the make out session before it goes too far….  although I never thought he would do anything else.  If the deed ever happens between Klaus and Caroline, he will want her to know it is with him.  His elitist attitude would not settle for anything less.  He is such a fantastic character on this show…and so damn entertaining.

So STOKED for October 11th!!!! 

 Kat Graham had tweeted out a promo pic of Bonnie that hasn’t been officially released yet, but it showed Bonnie with one half of her face ugly and distorted.   You may be on to something and Jeremy can see the dark magic evil that is taking over Bonnie.  That will be kinda scary….and horrifying…to look at….. but it will certainly make for good storytelling on a supernatural show. 

I’m curious about some of this, like what Jeremy can see and whether or not that writer meant that she drinks Damon’s blood or human blood that Damon has with him. Also I think it sounds like Katherine might be back, which I will enjoy. Aside from that I actually somehow feel less excited than I did all summer after reading this.
